Description

Translation Memory

Perform lookup when active segment changes

When this option is selected, SDL Trados Studio performs a translation memory lookup when the cursor moves to a new segment.

Apply best match after successful lookup

When this option is selected, Studio applies the best lookup result to the current segment.

NOTE

This option is not applied to segments that have been confirmed or that you have edited. This means that translations in confirmed segments and in segments that you have edited or are editing are not overwritten.

Copy source when no match is found

Select this if you want the source segment text to be copied to the target segment when there is no translation memory match for the source segment.

Confirm segment after applying an exact match

When this option is selected, Studio confirms segments to which it has applied an exact translation memory match or a context match (CM).

Turn off Track Changes when applying TM matches

When this option is selected, Studio will insert the matching translation from the TM into the target segment with no tracked changes applied.

After Confirming Segments Manually

Update translation memory

When this options is selected, Studio adds the segment translation to the translation memory when the translator confirms a translation or when a reviewer approves a translation.

Enable verification of segment

When this option is selected, Studio verifies the segment when the translator confirms it.

You can also verify the target document at any time by selecting  Review tab > Quality Assurance group > Verification_48x48-8.pngVerify in the Editor view.
